About “Never Told”

This story of some mens' drive to cheat and the heartbreak that inevitably follows was produced by the legendary No I.D., whose career is now undergoing a stunning resurgence after his mid-90’s glory days with Common

What has J. Cole said about the song?

Every studio session with No I.D. is always great conversation followed by work, and that’s what was happening. “Never Told” was the last song that we did on that first time I was there, and it was a culmination of all these conversations that we were having about life and relationships. So when we did “Never Told,” all of that came out in that song.
